It is currently estimated that less than 10% of companies using AI have actually managed to operationalize it effectively in their business processes or have comprehensive, integrated strategies for the entire organization.
The main reasons for this are not technological. The causes are mostly related to the lack of skills and difficulties in building value creation strategies based on available analytical skills and AI, including dimensions such as governance and ethical use of data.
